My adorable and quite liberal Sis posted a Frederick Douglas poster on her FB page with some of his quotes. All of her Lib friends gushed and “liked” until I ruined their little party when I posted a link about Douglas being a Republican!

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress. – Frederick Douglas

I’m sorry. I’m “usually” not that mean, but she just had her chin way out there with so many wrong things going through her mind. I couldn’t resist.

Mia has a long, hard race in front of her with people like joana, jona…..see I’ve already forgotten her name…..going after her with typical progressive disinformation and fraudulent statements. The lying LSM will slice/dice her every which way because she’s such a threat.

I don’t know if he was in the primary, but joamama was supporting and working for another candidate. Wimmer I think his name was.

Mia Love knew that and when Mia saw one of joamama’s comments somewhere, Mia called her out.

I do not know for certain, but my impression is that both Tim Scott and Mia Love are Frederick Douglass Republicans. This group supports 4 empowering values:
1) Respect for the US Constitution
2) Respect for life
3) Belief in Limited government
4) Belief in personal responsibility

FD Repubs do include an emphasis on social issues, just like SoCons do, except that FD Repubs have a broader view (i.e.poverty, education, healthcare, etc. rather than narrower issues like abortion) Relatively strong support for traditionalism in the form of traditional marriage, traditional families, etc. A lot of black Americans are drawn to this branch of Republicanism.

Even though I’m white, I have broad social interests, which puts me closer to the FD Repubs on the political spectrum than I would be to someone who focuses on a narrower scope of social issues.

A lot of people don’t know that FD Repubs even exist, and this just seemed a good opportunity to share of this information.

Hmmm, that’s odd. It seems that the only black women GOP candidate who is viable for a House race is, like most black women candidates, pursuing election in a large urban area, one of the largest in the that leans Republican. Because her constituents are urban, shouldn’t we discount her eventual win because of voter fraud. I thought there was no democracy in the cities

Progressives… Wow. The ONLY reason she’s gets attention is she Black, Mormon and a Women? Sad way to view the world, dependent on seeing folks as what group they belong to instead of as individuals.

I would suggest is she also is observant, thinking, productive, motivated, has ideas and principles. Traits lacking in Progressive circles.

BTW, the first black female Secretary of State was also a Republican (Condoleezza Rice). But she was not chosen for being black and female, but because she had a degree in Soviet Studies from Stanford. With the recent belligerence of Russia, such a qualification would be greatly needed in the current Secretary of State, and has been woefully lacking in our last two Secretaries of State.

As for Mia Love being Mormon, so are about 45% of the population of the Salt Lake valley of Utah–her religion will be viewed positively in that district.

FIFY. You’re getting a squiggly line under wasn’t because you need to use the subjunctive mood. You’re expressing a condition contrary to fact. And, here, that fact is she is black. That’s the fact, Jack joanna.

The real question now will be whether joana still supports her after she’s been “outed” as a full on crazy gun supporter like us TrueCons!

Tue, 29 Apr 2014 14:03:10 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=306218#comment-8002075I think Mia Love is great, although admittedly I do not know TOO much about her yet – I do not live in Utah. But from what I have seen of her in the media including interviews and articles, I like, I like. An up and comer.

But in scanning through this long list of comments, I thought I saw some comments (or at least one comment) that seemed critical of people here at HotAir liking her just because, in the poster’s opinion, “she is black”.

My, how the left loves hatred. They constantly want to stir it up. If she did not get favorable comments here, then we would all be a bunch of racists. If we like her, we are also a bunch of racists.

It is so very important to the left that we hate. They just can’t give it up. They have no role, nothing positive in their agenda, unless there is hate. To dwell on Ms. Love’s ethnicity is the racist coming out in the Left.

To the Left, is it not possible that there are truly admirable black people who do not agree with you?
